Description

Improved code element rate estimation algorithm suitable for non-constant envelope signal
Technical Field
The invention relates to an improved code element rate estimation algorithm suitable for a non-constant envelope signal, belonging to the technical field of digital communication.
Background
The symbol rate, also called symbol rate, is one of the main parameters for distinguishing analog signals from digital signals, and is also an important parameter for characterizing signals. The accurate estimation of the symbol rate has important application value in the fields of radio frequency spectrum management and monitoring, signal identification and demodulation and the like, and from the aspect of identification of a modulation mode in uncooperative communication with less prior knowledge, the accurate estimation of the symbol rate plays a prerequisite role in recovery of a digital modulation symbol, so the accurate estimation of the symbol rate is very important in preprocessing of signals. In addition, after the modulation scheme is identified, a high-accuracy symbol rate is also required for blind demodulation of the signal. Therefore, the symbol rate estimation has high research value.
At present, the main methods for estimating the code element rate mainly include methods based on a cyclic spectrum, wavelet transformation, an envelope square spectrum and the like, wherein the method based on the cyclic spectrum has higher complexity and is not beneficial to engineering realization; the wavelet transform-based method requires a high signal-to-noise ratio and requires selection of an appropriate wavelet transform to obtain a good estimation effect. The envelope square spectrum has the advantages of simple principle, low calculation complexity and high robustness, and is suitable for engineering application.
The code element rate estimation algorithm based on the envelope square spectrum is mainly applied to MQAM signals and is suitable for MPSK and MQAM signals under the condition of large roll-off factor formation, but the algorithm fails in MASK signals, and meanwhile, a large number of experiments show that the algorithm has larger estimation error for MPSK and MQAM signals under the condition of small roll-off factor formation, so that the method has the problem of sensitivity to roll-off factors and modulation types. In actual life, especially in the military field, a shaping filter with a small roll-off factor is often used for shaping to save the frequency spectrum and improve the utilization rate of the frequency spectrum, and the range of the roll-off factor commonly used is [0.15,0.5 ]. Therefore, the invention provides an improved symbol rate estimation algorithm suitable for a non-constant envelope signal.
